Shipwreck/Island adventures

[MaxKaladin]

I'm looking for an adventures that involve a shipwreck, preferably on an island or in some other remote location. I'd like something written for low level characters (1st-3rd) and preferably for 3e or earlier (never converted to 4e).

I found one in the Savage Tide adventure path that I liked except for the fact that it was written for much higher level characters (7th+).

Any suggestions?

ooh! There were a couple in Dungeon, IIRC. One was a murder-mystery, another a competition between two rival mages, and I think there were others. Someone with a collection can give the details.

1E Module N4: Treasure Hunt is the win. Its for 0 level characters but the challenges can easily accomodate 1st and slightly higher level play.

AD&D Ravenloft's Neither Man nor Beast. They had to cut the corners on the the sea voyage/shipwreck part, but boy, do the party land in "some remote location" they are not likely to forget!

There's a free adventure by Monte cook on the WotC site called Tower of Deception:

Wizards of the Coast - Dungeons & Dragons

It's on an island but you don't get there via a ship wreck.

The 2e solo adventure Thief's Challenge 2: Beacon Point was great when I ran it. It's written for 1 Thief ca 6th level, but I ran it for a party of 1st level OGL Conan RPG PCs and set it off the coast of Argos. As written it starts with a railroaded battle scene when the pirates attack the PC's ship, bad design IMO so I started it after the battle had ended, narrated it in flashback, and began with the shipwreck.

Dungeon 137: Siege of the Spider Eaters (for 1st level characters, but very scalable)

It's regularly listed on Paizo's Dungeon forum as one of their best adventures. It features a mystery, a dungeon with vertical elements, puzzles, nasty combats, betrayals and a huge moral dilemma.

It was my player's favorite... over such heavy weights as Goodman Games' "Heroes are Made, Not Born" and "The Dragon Fiend Pact"; a converted Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh; and the Freeport Trilogy.

I second that!

Sadly, Monte's adventure is for 9th level characters.

I remember a bit about N4 from back when it was new and it might fit. I'll have to see about tracking down a copy.

I also intend to look at the one from Dungeon 137. I've got a copy of that on order.

I must admit that I'm surprised that none of the many, many DCCs fits...

Thanks for the suggestions. If anyone has more, please don't hesitate to add them.
